OPTION OVERVIEW
The Of�ce and Information Management Department’s mission is to provide
industry-identi�ed knowledge, skills, and abilities to prepare students for entrylevel
careers within of�ce administration and/or medical of�ce administration
�elds. For individuals already employed within these �elds, professional
development can be obtained through the more advanced courses. In addition,
transfer to four-year programs is possible. The department offers a capstone
internship program for all degree students.
The Medical Information Management Option prepares students to work as
professionals within a medical of�ce environment. The option prepares students
in basic medical terminology, which is then applied using MediSoft computer
applications, a patient accounting software package. It also prepares students
in third-party billing and coding. Students participate in an internship in a medical
of�ce setting during their last spring semester to reinforce skills learned.
CRIMINAL OFFENDER RECORD INFORMATION AND
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY INFORMATION CHECKS
As a prerequisite for a clinical placement in the Medical Information Management
Option, all students must undergo a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI)
check and a Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) check. These checks are
required due to potential unsupervised contact with children, the disabled, or
the elderly during a clinical experience. Students found to have certain criminal
convictions or pending criminal actions will be presumed ineligible for clinical
placement. The College is authorized by the Commonwealth’s Department of
Criminal Justice Information Services, pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws,
Chapter 6, Sections 167-178B, to access CORI records. Sex Offender checks shall
be performed pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 6, Sections
178C-178P.
For more information regarding the College’s CORI/SORI check process, please
contact the College CORI/SORI Of�cer at 617-228-2193.
CAREER OUTLOOK
Graduates of this option qualify for job opportunities in physicians’ and dentists’
of�ces, clinics, HMOs, community health agencies, long-term care facilities,
and hospitals. Students also qualify for jobs in large corporations that provide
on-site health services, engage in medical research, or produce medical products.
Graduates qualify for entry-level positions such as medical receptionists, medical
records management specialists, medical of�ce managers, patient service
representatives, and medical administrative assistants. Students also may qualify
for at-home opportunities as medical transcriptionists.
